- Currently, the touch input devices are widely used. According to the conventional touch input technologies, the touch input devices include sensors based on a resistance and sensors based on a capacitance, i.e. the touched position on the touch input device is identified by measuring the electrical potential changes via a circuit. Recently, the optical touch input technology is developed, the touched position is identified by identifying the optical images. For the optical touch input device, the information can be entered by writing on a specific coding arrangement via a light pen, wherein the specific coding arrangement is fabricated on the substrate of the optical touch input device. The coding arrangement is exposed to the light emitted from the light pen, and then the light is reflected to the image-detecting system. Then, the coding is obtained by identifying the detected images, so that the optical touch input is effected.

- Please refer to
FIG. 1 , which is a schematic view illustrating the characteristic of the liquid crystal molecules. The important characteristic of the cholesteric liquid crystal molecule is the pitch thereof. The pitch, “p”, is defined as the distance it takes for the director to rotate one full turn in the helix as illustrated in the above animation. A byproduct of the helical structure of the chiral nematic phase, is its ability to selectively reflect light of wavelength “X” when the wavelength “X” of the reflected light is equal to the average index of refraction “n” of the cholesteric liquid crystal molecules multiplied by the pitch length “p” of the cholesteric liquid crystals. - The cholesteric liquid crystal molecules can be modified the pitch length resulting in an alteration of the wavelength of reflected light according to the temperature. Increasing the temperature of the cholesteric liquid crystal molecules, tightening the pitch, hence giving cholesteric liquid crystal molecules more thermal energy. Similarly, decreasing the temperature of the cholesteric liquid crystal molecules increases the pitch length, hence giving cholesteric liquid crystal molecules less thermal energy. This makes it possible to build a large wavelength range of reflected light by treated cholesteric liquid crystal molecules in the different temperature.
- Therefore, cholesteric liquid crystal molecules can be modified in selective pitch length by treated in selective temperature, hence, it can selectively reflect certain wavelength of light but not absorbing it. And, the cholesteric liquid crystal molecules can also be fabricated and solidified by treated in energetic irradiation such as UV (UV-A or UV-B) irradiation. Via energetic irradiation, the cholesteric liquid crystal molecules are solidified into a film of liquid crystal polymer, hence the cholesteric liquid crystal can be fixed on the liquid crystal panel surface.

reflective coding patterns 25 can be printed with cholestericliquid crystal molecules 251 on theliquid crystal panel 2 directly. According to the characteristic of cholestericliquid crystal molecules 251, the cholestericliquid crystal molecules 251 can be modified in selective pitch length by treated in selective temperature. Furthermore the cholestericliquid crystal molecules 251 can be solidified by treated in energetic irradiation such as UV (UV-A or UV-B) irradiation. Via energetic irradiation, the cholestericliquid crystal molecules 251 are solidified into a film of liquid crystal polymer, hence the cholestericliquid crystal molecules 251 can be fixed on the liquid crystal panel surface. And thereflective coding patterns 25 can be printed by inkjet printing, screen printing or relief printing. In accordance with the present invention, the pitch length multiplied by the index of refraction is within a range of an infrared ray wavelength (700 nm-300k nm). Preferably, the pitch length multiplied by the index of refraction is ranged from 800 nm to 1700 nm. More preferably, the pitch length multiplied by the index of refraction is 910 nm.

Since the infrared ray with the wavelength from 910 nm to 940 nm can be reflected by thereflective coding patterns 34, alight pen 31 can be applied to theliquid crystal display 35 withreflective coding patterns 34 for emitting the infrared ray and detecting the images, wherein the light emitted from thelight pen 31 to thereflective coding patterns 34 is reflected to theimage detecting device 33, and then according to the different brightness among the reflected infrared rays, the image is detected and identified, so that the position data having such coded is obtained. Certainly, thereflective coding patterns 34 onliquid crystal display 35 with alight pen 31 function as an optical touch input apparatus. It is advantageous to avoid the visible light absorbed by the coded patterns, influencing the brightness of the display. Furthermore, theliquid crystal display 35 withreflective coding patterns 34 has the cholesteric liquid crystal molecules with the high reflection, so that theliquid crystal display 35 withreflective coding patterns 34 has not only the great effects on providing the light source with great reflectivity and power-saving, but also high brightness. - According to the first embodiment, the cholesteric liquid crystal reflective coding patterns on liquid crystal display can be encoded by a coding system. The coding system is selected from a group consisting of a hexagonal dot-coding system, two-dimension barcode system, three-dimension barcode system or any other coding systems can be used in these coding patterns. Please refer to

In the prior procedures, the pitch length (p) of the cholestericliquid crystal molecules 62 are regulated through the temperature control. After regulating the pitch length by the specific temperature, the cholestericliquid crystal molecules 62 need to be irradiated by UV((UV-A or UV-B) to fix the pitch length and solidified into a film of liquid crystal polymer, which fixes the cholestericliquid crystal molecules 62 on the liquid crystal display surface. As to the micro-capsules 61′, they are made in the same procedure but fragmented into the uniform micro-capsules 61 in the following step.
